The innimatable frikkie tells Me "Have you seen the Latest Fing On Sealine ? Go to tHat Sealine's Link .They've got a bbm Group - quite a Mal bunch of okes - Wait i'll send you The Link quick and get you a invite- but Must warn you - These Ouens aren't all too well upstairs , and usuallu Peple don't really Last too long On the Group ."

NE ! Pfffftt.. Ja oraait - send Me The Link I'll go take a look ."

Does That sound Like The beginnings Of a fishing trip to you ? didn't Think so either .

With the sad Demise or Declining interest In Fishing in general , as a Group , on This site , And Generally just not Being Able to contain Or Feed Bevid's Craving for fishing , these umm - Shall we just maar say 'Mal bunch of okes'Decided to organize their Own Little get -together - a fishing Soiree , sOmewhere CLose To the Porra from Stutterheim's Favourite Fishing spots .

Of Course - that would have to Entail Camping , as no Trennnnndy would Settle for 1 Day's fishing - No chance .

What's a Trennndy ??? I don't have enough time, patience , tolerance , Perseverance , Or bandwidth , to Tell you .
In fishing terms it's the Most developed form of an ANgler you could find !!! 3 Main ingredients , Friends , fishing , and plenty of kekpraat - PLENNNTY .

And so it was that a Date Was set By the short Man From East London . (He Doesn't breath as heavy in real life as in the Movies , hey ?) Kent, the worlds funniest darth Vader , got the ball rolling , and it was On : 10 guys , first 10 going would be Limit .

I really didn't Think I'd Make this One ,but some light Planning was made for "Just In case I do Wanna go .........."

My Last few trips to the Transkei have not been Productive - Well- certainly not for ME - for The Locals it's been Extremely productive as the Little Shytes Managed to Rob us at the Previous Bash that side , and I Lost a bit Of tackle . so as afar as the Transkei is concerned - Lets just say that It's Like Stroh rum - I Know what it tastes like -and I don't want any more please .....

Frikkie Starts plotting and planning , and I already hear talk of camping . ha ha ha ha ha ha ."F that - I Was in the army too long ago , My skins gotten Thin- Isn't There a place to camp or a bungalow Or something around there ? "
On the phone to Boepens , a.ka. Justin, and he Mentions a spot around The corner which is öraahht Hey- Nothing great but , it'll do .

Secretly I Decide Sealine Or No - when I fish I Want to Sleep Solid , and Get in as Much fishing as possible , and I remember hole in the wall all Too Well - It Really IS an experience , to Literally "Fish all Day - Drink all night - Like DISSSss!!" and after a full day's fishing you are Pretty Pap , nevermind The Dop And burning some Chop ". Ek se'somme Regguiut vir Frikk "Julle Kan Maar Lekker Kamp - Ek verkoop Liewers My ex en gaan bly in een Van daai goeders ".


I really haven't been on a roadtrip in ages . One Must also Realize That companies are also Not dishing out Range rover Evoques , or double cab 4x4's these Days for company vehicles , but - in Retrospect - yes I Think I packed in too Much for 3 days .




Listen When you go On a trip Like DIssS !!!! . you tend to get carried away , which is what always happens - nobody EVER pictures themselves Blanking at a spot - GO On - Admit IT!!! everyone walks into a shop and goes And Looks for the Meanest , ugliest , baddest hooks available . YIp .


Sealine's Just use whatever Pal's give them .

I'd had a really *** Day at work On the Night of The 6th , and 3 pm became 4 Pm became oh for ....... Grrrrrrrrr .

The Plan was to liasse with Frikkie and the Barbarian Horde Either In Pe , or somewhere along the Way , or Simply drive straight through the night to get there .


Enter Bevid .We Rip into each other On a frequent basis ( Well- He THINKS SO , any way- but Ja) and I've got him On bbm , telling me to hurry Up And all sorts of goed . Listen China , if there's One thing you have to Learn about Me - when I fish I work on Africa time , so I was Lying and telling him I'd already Left .
In the Meantime I'm Pouring a Brandy , and packing .

Yes this was all just for Me . Ok , so I brought a little bit Of extra goodies with - No big Deal ...

Ok yes , it does Look a Little Excessive Now that I look at This photo , but I Mean- Can't Pitch at a Trendy Fing and Say "anyone got any cotton I could use ..... "- You're kidding , Right ? I chose The worlds smallest car , packed - said goodbye to My son , wrote another Lie About Being Mobile Lonnnnnnng time ago already to bevid - double checked things again for The Last Of Last Time - and Left .
It was Green for GO !

So I Tell bevid the plan .
"No "he says "you crash somme here by Me , bring some pics Of that sister of yours , got some meat on the grid for you bud- Pull IN !"

Trendy . I Reckoned He thought he'd be seeing the whites of My eyes by 9.45 , Noooooo probbs ........................!


i'd had Little sleep , and by Knysna I could already Feel My eyes wanting to super glue themselves shut .

I'd Reckoned to be at the bash spot by 2 am , Easy peezy .

But That was with batteries on full Charge , and by storms river , I could No Longer struggle against sleep , so With the horde bbm ing Me , I pulled in to stormsriver , Hid behind a truck - and Crashed .

1 am I skrik wakker - oh My f.....lip Bevid's gonna kill me
!! I've already decided that North of fish point in complete Darkness is far too dangerous just to be winging it off to a Destination unknown ,and With My eyes Looking like those of a GunnjAH Smoker , I mademy way to The Chop's house .

Don't ask Bevid for directions. TO anything. he works for Tracker , so- When he speaks to you - to Anyone- he Speaks like your brain is connected to google Earth's Mainframe computer . "Take the Bramlin turnoff right , gooi a Left , , Left again , firtst right , you'll see the green golf - Pull in behind It. gotta Dop here waiting for you - What you drivin'??? jirrrr it's kakslow! "

3.38 Am .

Friday Morning .

I Make like a politician and arrive . I sms the tosser cuz I don'Wanna wake the missus - Any ou can fish til laste , but you Never , Ever , wake The Missus - especially when you barely even Know the People . so with superhuman powers I Coast The vehicle behind The Green goblin And Miss Call the gate keeper .then an sms .

This beady looking fing with Nothing More than a short sleev shirt and std. 8 Rugby Days Pt pants opens the door . I began to wonder If it was the right address !!1 Lololol

a short greeting Exchange and I'm In and being shown the sleeping arrangements . all i wanted to See , Was whether The Man Would take a branna's With Me at That hour , but admittedly I Was kinnnnnda Late , so I didn't push it .


The same Morning as the start of The Bash .
And I'm sleeping in a Pink room

" Pappa hoekom snork die oom so Baie ??? "

"Ag skat hy's n trendy - hulle Maak maar so ....."


6 .45 in a nippy but nice Morning , I get up ,and bevid starts Mumumbling asbout firdt driving there, then there , then - I go Deaf, I just want to Fish . No time for the nitty Gritty stuff , I'm pulling through .

Climb on the road , and Meet up with the Rest Of civilization , heading to work .



Kinda felt Like de ja vu , heading toward Brighton Pier .
The road Past Sunday's , from the turn Off to head to Port Alfred , always takes Me back to when I was a kid .
And more recently , to Selaine Bashes . I Miss them .


I hit port Alfred In a relatively short space of time , and The nice thing about going to Lennies is that I've Never been there before , so with no Idea how far up the road one's destination Is ,you tend to Drive a Little blind Actually . All i Knew Is that it Was before East London.

Frikkie , in the Meantime , had crashed at Porrás house in Stutterheim , after making it to his castle earlier The Morning .He Was already AT Lennie's , and Boeps Was On his Way to there shortly . "I'm Lekka gonna Miss Out"i thought .
directions Are given , and I aim the car north to find this Kidds beach turnoff .
Timecheck is already 11.50 am . I'm Miff , and not prepard for the gravel Road to Palms . The guys are now all fully Geared and making their Way to Lennie's in Dribs N drabs . Firkkie Is busy Packing - I Need to shake a Leg .


I must admit There's Nothing spectacular Or welcomgin , about Lennie's road . It Looks more Like Soemthig From the movie "wrong Turn ", and when you go down there you Can barely see The entrance to The Dojo .

Palms is Nice - I reckon in 1967 it was Ranked 14th or 15th , possibly, as a top Destination to take The family away , porra style , and sneak in a bit of fishing .
Not the place you'll head to for 18 holes .More Like just One .cough .. ummm - ok -
The villa



I Stop there and Frikkie takes in all the Junk I'd brought with - even a heater . Bevid wouldá kicked Me out if he' knew about the Heater for sure - I was ready for anything .lol

a quick dop , And We're off to the spot .

I'll Leave you with an image That Is etched in my mind before I head off to clock in at the Grind .

Scary stuff ......

 

Def-e-nition

Sealiner
And so .

 with That sorry pic etched into ya brains -

 

THe spot .

 

And what a spot it Is , even for a Porra ......

 

The spot to The Dojo is off The beaten path . a two spoor track Leading off palm's entrance , into the bush . We drive Passed it - And proceed to Get Lost . Some bundu bashing for half an hour , almost all the way back to the Ke'ffie at the garage  , And we finally find it . 50 M from Palms . yeehaa . 

 

As you arrive , you start counting the cars. Trendy's drive all sorts of vehicles , and then you see The "Exotic" car , looking like a white starship Trooper's Helmet . Lord Vader Rolls in style , Though He's so Frikkin Short i don't KNow how they even managed to Get him in focus for an Id pic for his Driver's License .The man is so short he almost Looks Incomplete.  I Reckon His old Man must've Paused While Creating him .

Moving along -  We unpack - I have packed everything but The kitchen Sink ,

 and climb Over a Fence .

 Porra's true blue is hidden in the bushes like a spiedcop Next to a trap - keeping the beers cold . hmmmm.

 

Over The hedge- what A Mish' - and into the bush .

Katot's infamous Staircase -pfffft - is there too , and after Clearing the Trees - This is what you're Greeted by -:

 





 

Untouched by human Influence .

 

And um- by The Way- Thats the Way it's gonna Stay , so a Word Of advice  if you Plan on ever heading that way- Keep it clean . i Was there 1 minute and i Knew Boeps wuz Onto something Good when we picked This place .

 

Magic .

we Glide Over The Sand hastily to Make way to The point - Justin has a good hour's headstart on me , and I've Driven bloody far to wet a Line . too Nice .

 The stench  , at first , is unbearable , and i thought it was coming from the Trendys .

 Thankfully it turned out to Be an old Whale carcass that had Washed up there , and i admit it Was so frikkin strong it almost added a Surreal edge to Meeting up with the horde for the First Time . Buncha' Chopps .

 

Lord Vader announces His attendance with the Sign for hello in a pub .



 Later On he Would be showing us The thickness of Other Exptremeites with just a simple finger , but More On that later .

the back end of Lennie's , where that Magnificent Odour was Eminating from



i fidget and get The Box down off My back. Frikkie's On a slow boat - i don't even have time to Shake Boep's hand ,and tip My box over in the hurry to Line up . My hands are Shaking- nope-not kidding-they're shaking , and i manage to weave the Leader i had Carefully put on (pffft- what a Joke ) through the eyes of The Gun , , off My Trini 40 . Looked like ashort cast into good water , and there i am , Standing off Lennie's after a Dreadful Morning Snorring it up in the pink palace at bevvie's Place  and I'm Launching my first sinker Into  Leonard's bay . Yeeeeehaaaaa !!!!!!         


Boeps -   Standing LIKe DIssss  ! ! ! !
 

And each time would Be The Last Time I ever Saw That sinker ......

I ran back to the Box and brought out some fillet . A spe'sial Kind of fillet Not available to Those Waters , and put it out . Traces Were perfect - we Really had lived Ourselves for this weekend . even Kent had cast some Shiny new spoons to throw over our lines and one two Lose a Few in the bricks. Genuine . such a kind old chap . Here he is with that pose i Mentioned earlier .



Leonards Has a beautiful Little Bay which you Throw into , although the urge to steek one out off The point really was Tempting .  Kent proceeded to pour shot after shot of his Favourite cooldrink , and take over  'The rock' .  i eventually prayed to go flat just to shut him up . its not so much a thing of verbal dhiahroea , as Much as it was SOCIAL dhaihroea - you have to Realize that We all Barely get to go away like This , and it was and Must've been pretty cool to have so Many guys together , from 5 different parts of the country , all finally standing There together after more than 4 or More months of listening to Kent's endless Stories of him planing to spoon away at Lennie's .   ::craz:hyst::doh 

 

Before Lennie's , only a few Of us had actualy MEt , or barely spoken to Each other on the Phone .

 Mostly < it was the Trendy Group On bbm , and if you've ever read or witnessed a conversation Held on their - you'll have a Fair idea What it's like to Be a Trendy .....

 

It was 40 Minutes into the  meet and Greet session , when the first Rocket came Knocking .

The rod bounced and then went Flat . i Watched as The /8 now fell prey to what appeared to be an annoying gully shark at first .

Boeps had promised me a pull , so i was glad  .   VAS .......

It peeled line off The Trini at a Frikkin Rate of Knots .

MY Captains Pose

 We're used to being hung here by them other fings wif Teeth so i wasn't too concerned , but right , off Leonards , is a reef , and once he takes you into there you're Stuffed .  i Felt The Line slide through the weeds , and The rod tip dipped painfully as The line gritted it's way over The surfcae of the bricks . I Could'nt Lock up , i couldn't turn it , so , basically , i Was a sitting duck .

By now i Was beginning to feel a little worried .

Rightfully so , as no sooner had we Taken the pic (with Kent howling Whoops and "TREKKK HOMM!!!" In the background - non-ssstop)  when the fish finally made a solid run and prceeded to cut me off .

Whatever it was certainly Got My attention ,  And was in a hurry . smokkkkked.

It Definitely wasn't a gully .We all Knew That was My way of explaingin how A fish Morphs from being something small , to something a whole Lot Faster ..

Good Thing i packed In spare Line .

Boeps was just lagging the entire little experience .

Onto the Second bait .

 I Watch as Kent dons his little outift and disappears behind a rock- no wait- That Was Boep's cooler box  he disappeared behind .   Second bait in , and another shark head is put out .

 

we're 4 guys fishing Nunu's , so what happened this Day will trully go down as a Day to be remembered  .......

 

25 Minutes Later , and I'm Back in the fighting Chair -Vas  Number TWO

This one started off Pretty small and i Really Thought I had It Beat . i Mean - come on- how Bad can things go .right ?

 

In the meantime , sweetie and co were doing a bit Of Ed's fishing as boeps had Promised .

I Watched my reel go back into the Braid - And Kent came running up to cloud My vision with  Noise  . Again .

" PULLLLLLLLLLL !!!!!!!!!"

"Oh shut up . Are you BLind as well as Short ??? "

The Plan Wuz to pull The culprit into the corner .



It shot off to the right with such speed that My line Made an ominous Bow behind the fish ........  

 

I was being Caned .

 

I tightened The Drag some more as the Drum Began to empty , and with Darth Vader in my face no More than 10 inches From me , i glance d over his shoulder to witness what I'd gone there for - a Breaching BlackTip .

It cleared The water roughly 450 M off shore in SPECTACULAR fashion - but with Kent with his Back Facing the sea , he Missed it , and scoulded and grumbled himself away back to his spoons .        a Breach !!!!!!!! yayyyyyy !!!!!!! 

I held On as Line Peeeeeeled off The reel -   and then - Nothing .

 

i Reel in the Now slack Line to Measure a 37 cm Gap between the One Set of Marks on the Leader , to The next - in the commotion it had jumped and doubled back Onto the Leader . Anyone who's hooked One and can give Me an idea what a 30+ cm mouth diameter Would Be  is welcome to share . i had been bitten off . 

Boeps Reeled in and Re  placed his bait . for some reason the BlackTail and elf were just not working . Or Maybe the fish Knew i'd driven so Far to get a pull . Which is about as Much as i Would get , all. Day. Long .

gotta love this , eh?   700 km , 2    Nil .

Fabulous .



Camp David . Would Later be Renamed but for now - the fort was snug against The bushes . actuallu a nice place to plop your stuff down , but 12 ou's on a rocky point with a fire going and the Temp's set To drop into sack-shrinking figures , i felt My bed Was better made up at Palms ! .    

 

Grown men using umbrella's on the BEach. What next - Pink Underwear . Sadly , i am Missing this photo , but unfortunately with the arrival Of  the infamous BEVID hansen , Byron , with JVW in tow - i would soon see Kent hand Jannie one Of ken'ts Older Panty's and have a grown Man wear Pink On the beach .

'Takes all sorts to make the world turn ' ....is What I'm told .....



 

This is almost Off The point looking towards The Mainland . Boep's Backyard . Compare their Campsite , to Ours  :



I dunno Hey ...Built In Braai- Hot running water , a Bed - and complete silence .

Anyhow ,  Back to The Barbarian horde , who'd rocked up from Port elizabeth quite a tad Late .

Cant remember when Katot The alikreuk thief pitched- but I Was being given enough gas from Bevid and Kent ,  i wasn't up for a Lebanese pipe-smoker's Lipservice as Well .

Frikkie In the Meantime managed , between all the carbon technology , to Get himself a bait out . I'd brought The Literal Motherload along with Me , and Was so Keen to get him stretched  as Well . We'd come a Long way to Meet The guys , and given that Duif wasn't There I guess Kent was feeling terribly Lonely  (maybe it's because he's As tall as a 15 year Old boy ?and he jokingly walked around on the rock biting into everyone .   Old Fart . Very funny  , forthright and upright (for a 5 footer) kinda guy . 

 

Round 3 Of My bait consisted of what was working - More shark . i Noticed the Sea Lice there On one of boep's Baits , And couldn't get Over how damn quick These things dispense a Shad body off The head , completely gutting the Bait to no More than a bare Shell . I rigged up the tail Section on 2 J's  , and Let it go .

 



 

 Time for the camera to do some work .     Sheldon Was off Catching fish , and Targeted  Bronze Bream , and whatever it is that Eds Fisherman Target .

Katot showed up And Boeps had already gone back to fill The fridge with some liquid .

I was busy chatting to Delme higgs and faffing with a short 9 footer i'd brought with " for the Kollie's " That Boeps had promised us would be so dik there , when Delme called Me . I Thought he Wanted to show Me something ,but He'd Seen My rod go off , and i lifted My head to find The rodtip going down firmly .Again . Washed My hands And Gripped the Pencil .

 I Let It run for at Least 7 or 8 seconds before i Locked The Drag and Dropped The hammer . VAsss ..................................................

 

This Was getting Ridiculous .

And all the time I'm thinking to Myself  " This is ridiculous !!! Boeps Gonna bust a vein , I'm hogging all the Fish  Bwhahahahahahahah !!!!!"

I lift The rod tip

 

Fish Jumps

 Not even 60 M out . spectacular .  These sharks twirl in fantastic fashion and really Lose it when they discover you are Trying to prevent them from Leaving . yoh . No rolling This time , just a clean sharp Jump .

As he jumps i Feel the line go slack again . I see The bait coming towrds Me and Realize I've pulled the Bait clean from his throat . Strange That The 2 J's Never got a hook up , but I'm sure it was nothing serious .  



In Between hidings , i Still found time to sit and quietly chuckle At myself in Delight , and chirp Halfpint .   Bevid was now placing a Chokka bait out for any cob Brave enough to swim past the reef After his bait . Kent spooned a bit , walked himself off to a patch of bricks 300m  North , in search of an Edible .

Still , i Was bleak .  The score Was beginning to look heavily in Favour of The Sharks .

 Leonards   3

Trennndie's     0

 

 And all the While I'm thinking To Myself :" watch it go dead now "

Justin Is  getting agitated , as The usual bait is simply No Match it seems for The  NEW Lennies  bait lolol 1

 by now , I'm feeling bleak . Not Moeg -  Bleak , Lees Mooi . i Mean- so i'm 3- 0 Down , it's 14h 45 or so already , no One else has had a pull yet - And i can't seem to LANd anything - room for concern ? Yip.

 

very bad situation to be In .  

 

so now, what do :Stop using The shark fillets and Switch to something else, or go with what works ?

Bugger it , we'll stick to the plan and use what's working .

 we're up to about 10 or so Sealine's , and rodney , bevid's Better side of The Family , had brought his trini 50 along  As Well , and we squashed a beautiful Looking Black Tail in between all of Our rods .

 bevid calls it almost To the letter : as I'm Lying furtherest out to the right , i am most Obviously getting all the pulls - so rodney is to try to the Right of Me , and this will hopefully cut off my supply of Pulls , and hoepfully onto the Blacktail . It Was a big bait .

 

 All it did though i think , was work as chum for our baits ..

The comeraderie on that Point was Legendary .

 the comments being thrown about had us in stitches , and it Reminded Me of a time When Sealine Wasn't so full of poop , had so Much poop , gave us so Much poop , and the bashes Were nothing More than 5 days of honest , solid , fishing . As frikkie said: it Wasn't all just about the fishing , it was about Meeting people who'd Only chirped each Other while Mommy slept , or just before supper through until 8 pm . Some very funny moments , which , due to a parental advisory , will remain  unprinted .

 

But Fun is an understatement .

The ou's even managed to erect a line bin up at Leonards . 

Like Dissss....
